SONY Camera Lens FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM II SEL1635GM2 [Sony E / zoom lens]

Product Specifications

Basic Information

Product Features
World's smallest and lightest(*1) design
- Compared to the previous model (*2), the new model weighs approximately 20% less at 547g, and its overall length has been shortened by 10.1mm to 111.5mm. Compact and lightweight design supports nimble and agile shooting.
- Designed to prevent the center of gravity from changing even when zooming during shooting, enabling stable movie recording.

*1: As of the PR announcement in August 2023. In a full-size 16-35mm F2.8 wide-angle zoom lens with autofocus. According to Sony research.
*2: FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM

Large-aperture F2.8 wide-angle zoom lens with even higher image quality
- Clear image rendering from the center to the periphery of the image at the entire zoom range from 16mm to 35mm
- 5 aspherical lens elements, including 3 ultra-advanced aspherical XA (extreme aspherical) lens elements, for even higher image quality
- The use of the Nano AR Coating II significantly suppresses ghosting and flare, resulting in clear, high-contrast images with a high degree of sharpness.
- One Super ED glass element and two ED (extra-low dispersion) glass elements significantly suppress chromatic aberration.
- The latest optical design and 11-blade aperture unit produce smooth and beautiful blurred images.
- High close-up shooting performance with a minimum focusing distance of 0.22 m (over the entire zoom range) and a maximum magnification of 0.32x

Evolved video performance to meet the needs of video creators
- The latest lens design technology suppresses breathing during focus, axis shift and focus shift caused by zoom operation. The latest lens design technology minimizes angle-of-view fluctuations and shaking, enabling smooth video expression.
- The use of an XD (extreme dynamic) linear motor and the latest aperture unit suppress operation noise and vibration during video recording.
- Three control rings (focus, zoom, and aperture) enable smooth manual operation.
- The aperture ring can be switched between click-on and click-off.
- Iris lock switch" prevents accidental operation of the aperture ring

AF performance that draws out the high-speed performance of the body
- Four high-thrust XD linear motors and a floating focus mechanism are employed. The AF speed is up to approximately twice(*1) faster than conventional models due to greatly improved thrust efficiency.
- High-speed continuous shooting of up to approx. 30 frames/second (*2) is possible in combination with α1.
- Linear Response MF" allows manual focus to be controlled as the photographer intends.

*1: Compared to the FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM when the α1 is attached. Sony measurement conditions
*2: α1: Continuous shooting mode "Hi+". Effective at shutter speeds of 1/125 sec. or higher; effective at shutter speeds of 1/250 sec. or higher in AF-C mode; maximum continuous shooting speed varies depending on attached lens and shooting mode.
